MESA, Ariz. – Reliever Ryan Pressly could tell he was out of whack last season. He and the Astros identified the issue early, it was just a matter of finding enough time to address it.
“As a starter, you get four days to work on something,” Pressly said in a conversation with the Sun-Times. “But for a reliever, it’s just like, ‘Alright, let’s not try to do too much, because you might be in the game tonight.’ And, to [pitching coaches Joshua Miller and and Bill Murphy’s] credit, they were trying as hard as they could. It was just probably something that we needed to do in the offseason.
